FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Duncan Sales Ends Legal Battle with Audio Associates, Inc.
September 4, 2024
The lengthy legal battle with Audio Associates has concluded with full payment to Duncan Sales. All interest earned on the judgment plus additional legal reimbursements and penalties ordered by the Court were included in the final sum paid.
In 2022 a New Jersey Superior Court jury had returned a verdict in favor of Innergroove, LLC dba Duncan Sales on its claims of breach of contract and tortious interference against defendants Joseph Blacker and Audio Associates. The legal dispute arose when Audio Associates breached the Agreement to be the “exclusive retail representative” for Audio Associates in the New York Metro territory after two years.
A judgment entered in late 2022 against Audio Associates included commissions owed to Duncan Sales as well as commissions that would have been paid had the agreement not been ended by Audio Associates. A third unanimous jury finding had determined that Mr. Blacker personally and improperly interfered with Duncan Sales’ prospective business in the New York metropolitan territory, resulting in additional damages being awarded. These damages were collected last year.
After garnishment of funds from bank accounts and vendor commissions due Audio Associates, the full balance was paid to Duncan Sales in July. Four court appearances in the past year had also resulted in orders for Mr. Blacker to produce tax records, bank statements and all pertinent records.
Bob Duncan, President of Duncan Sales, stated; “We believe that to maintain your reputation you must defend it. We are grateful for all the wide support we have received from within the music industry and look forward to focusing on 2024 and beyond.”
